DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethyl- ene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type of coolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant test- ed to assure that its freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures anticipated during the winter. C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If you aren’t sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. As soon as the engine is running smoothly, you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear result- ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
C160A01A-AAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the problems of winter driving, you should follow these suggestions:
C150A01A-AAT SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, espe- cially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear will be held to a minimum. C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and type of the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car. Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel- eration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in front and your vehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all provinces. Check province laws before fitting tire chains.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 19
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all
tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially
on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking effi- ciency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the trans- mission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overloading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or
eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selector in park or neutral and idle theengine at a higher speed.

Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-2.These procedures must be performed at theintervals shown in the maintenance schedule toassure that your warranty remains in effect.Although it is strongly recommended that theybe performed by the factory-trained or distribu-tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,these procedures may be performed at anyqualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or re-placements. Other parts of equivalent qualitysuch as engine oil, engine coolant, manual orauto transmission oil, brake fluid and so onwhich are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Com-pany or its distributor may be used withoutaffecting your warranty coverage but you shouldalways be sure these are equivalent to thequality of the original Hyundai parts.

CONSUMER INFORMATION
8-2 I060A01HP-GAT TIRE ROTATION
I040A02S-GAT
SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; other- wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's door edge, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)when your car is equipped with snow tires. I050A01HP-AAT
TIRE CHAINS Tire chains should be installed on the rear wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions. To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed. WARNING: When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph). Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000
miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un- evenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be corrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un-
der any circumstances. This may cause dan- gerous handling characteristics that may
cause death, serious injury, or property dam- age.
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han-dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure of other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car top carrier.
